Nasa tv on the web falls over again then!

First the real feed got worse and worse, then died completely.

Then the windows got very low bandwidth,. I ended up on the windows media
sounds like a telephone audio only feed.

It makes me wonder if any kind of web TV system is going to be viable.

I had an excellent windows media feed throughout - as good as 150kbps
can get. It would seem to depend on your provider and/or home setup, and
probably other hard-to-pin-down factors.

NASA TV was superb here as well. I was watching on NT Broadband.

Just wish their commentator had been a little better!

That should have been NTL not NT

Everything was fine from before the de-orbit burn until about 3
minutes to touchdown when the audio went into a continuous loop, the
picture being passably ok. By then BBC News 24 was carrying the NASA
feed.

Timed by the landing gear deploying I estimated the webfeed was
somewhere around 35 seconds behind real time.

I had the continuous audio loop happen to. All I did was close and re-open
the feed and that either worked or coincidently they may have fixed it on
their end at the same time.

Well, that is od, as here, the bandwidth gradually went down and down as I
said on real, until it stopped. I then retried to be greated with the
bandwitch exceeded message from the nasa site.

Going onto Windows, the downgrading happened also, but eventually, I was
getting uge gaps as if it was buffering.

They have had this looping problem before. Not sure what causes it.

The feed was ok for me - I had it running from about 3 hours before landing
and it was perfect.

I had the same audio problem, but left it alone and eventually it cleared
up. Made for an interesting effect, though.
